Canto is Awesome
What do you like best about the product?
Canto opens right up to my files, tiled and easily previewed.
What do you dislike about the product?
I sometimes struggle with auto tagging, as it doesn't always best fit needs for my industry specific items.

We use Canto to house our marketing ready files for social media updates, posts, marketing collateral, etc. This has been invaluable as anyone in our company can easily search tags and find what we're looking for.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Canto is a great DAM application for your internal file needs.
Smart Search!
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to have the same asset displayed in different albums without having to deal with duplicated assets.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface design is a little dated in comparison with other companies, but it does what is supposed to do, so not the prettiest, but it works.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We started using Dropbox as a repository for all ready-to-use media, but as the company grew we needed something that allowed us to save time with recurring tasks like resizing assets or creating special folders with duplicated assets to be shared outside the organization.
Helped our customers immensely!
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to use for our customers and accessible at all times for them! The impact this has had on our customers and our own workflow is wonderful.
What do you dislike about the product?
The permissions and portals aspect of it seems a bit complex but I'm not the best person to speak on this. That was my impression of it when first seeing the settings, but I am not managing the library full time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In the past we used to respond to image requests manually. A customer would request imagery for a specific product and we would host the images and send them the link. We would have to do this each and every time (this includes the same imagery if they happened to have deleted the images). Now that they have access to all imagery on Canto, both our customers and our team are happier. It has helped make our workflow more efficient and our customers can access the library at any time without waiting. Our team also uses the library when working remotely to access any imagery we may need for our assets.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are having a spending a lot of time having to assist customers with images or media, a service like Canto can help alleviate that workload. It's very easy to use for customers. Our customers aren't always computer savvy and we like to make sure they have as little trouble as possible finding what they need.
Best damn DAM out there!
What do you like best about the product?
Super easy on boarding -- you can literally be dropping in assets within minutes. The ability to tag and keyword thousands of assets has transformed our business. The software's ability to check for duplicates was also incredibly useful. The control over how to share what, when, to whom is also life changing for us, we have a much more secure asset collection now -- no more links going everywhere with people accessing items for a lifetime.
What do you dislike about the product?
Could have a few improvements with keystroke shortcuts but small detail.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Massive collection of assets with duplicates -- and assets we need to find in minutes, not hours. Canto made it so we can find them in seconds -- incredible resource.
One year on... Canto changed my life!
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use and quick to pick up which has meant my teams have quickly onboarded with Canto. It’s saves time and effort that can be better spent doing something else. It gives a professional face to asset sharing with partners and press
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to dislike to be honest. Perhaps more flexibility with portals and custom URLs
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Saved time spent uploading and sharing assets individually. Better internal view of the assets that we have.
Canto has been an enormous help
What do you like best about the product?
Canto has been an enormous help to Healthline as a Digital Asset Management tool - organizing thousands of files across our company and allowing varying departments easy access to these assets. It is intuitive to use and the frequent updates are helpful in improving and keeping the system current.
What do you dislike about the product?
No main issues to report with using Canto at the moment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organizing thousands of files across numerous brands.
Canto Cumulus is a great media data asset management platform
What do you like best about the product?
Capabilities to organize and categorize a wide bunch of images, videos, and other documents of our company. Many of the functions are very helpful, e.g. the searchability and customizing collections of assets to share it with our partners and TPAs is really valuable!
What do you dislike about the product?
No function to share documents automatically to the sales team when they go updated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sharing different types of data with our worldwide sales team. This saves us a lot of time in marketing!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Canto's platform is worth to invest. The platform can be customized and aligned to own CI. Please invest enough time to work on a strategy before you are uploading files to the database. There are a lot of things to consider in advance especially all necessary meta information. If not you have to work on each file you have uploaded individually.
How do I love Canto? Let me count the ways ...
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Canto is that it just works exactly the way you expect it to. Even before I went through the official training, I found it super intuitive -- easy to upload files, easy to find them again, easy to use them with a huge range of design tools (we mostly use it with Adobe Creative Suite). Version control is going to be very helpful for us. I’m also stoked that it’s so easy to customize for our workflow. And the customer service we’ve experienced so far has also been top notch -- friendly, knowledgeable, and FAST. Thanks, Canto!
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing yet! The default settings include a lot of options we won’t need, so until we finish customizing the interface it’s visually distracting to see them. Still, how can you complain about having “too many” options -- especially when it’s so easy to focus in on only what you really want?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It’s no exaggeration to say that Canto is My Hero right now! We finished migrating our assets and started using Canto just a few weeks before our US team was ordered to work from home due to the Coronavirus (our international team has already gone through this). I don’t think we would have all been able to keep working with the product we were using before. With Canto, our domestic and international teams can work together seamlessly from anywhere. And those of us with access to domestic servers can continue to load new assets that were previously unavailable to our design team overseas. As a provider for the agriculture supply chain we are considered an “essential business” and this is becoming a very busy time for us. I’m grateful we’ve been able to get up and running so quickly, and that Canto is so easy to use that the learning curve is almost nonexistent.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go for it! We have loved it so far and I'm looking forward to customizing our implementation to work even better for our workflow.
Strong option for a DAM
What do you like best about the product?
The customer service when working with Canto has been fantastic, with the team very responsive to all our questions and needs for the tool. The amount of options
What do you dislike about the product?
The software requires a lot of administration work in defining and setting up users and groups at the start of the process, to define workflows and access, and has many features and benefits that our team does not currently require.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All marketing teams require a DAM to house imagery, keep track of it, keep track of usage rights and share the imagery with internal stakeholders.
